“Women are very fortunate that they can rock cool looking hats and look fabulous, while hiding from the sun. But men can do that as well, they just have to know the rights hats to wear,” Lefa said.

He explains that although sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun, the rest of your face and body still has to be protected.
“Aside from sun block creams, there are so many ways and clothes to wear in order to not get sun burn. Straw hats for women are always the best to cover, not only for your face but also your shoulder and back area, and sun shield boaters bucket-hats for men fall in the same category as women’s straw hats, they protect the neck and the shoulders,” he explained.

He added that women’s bucket hats and men’s straw hats are also good at shielding one from the sun. “Though women’s bucket hats and men’s straw hats are stylish, the negative thing about them is that they don’t cover your shoulders nor your back, hence why I prefer the boaters bucket hats for men and big flowy hats for women to protect your skin from the sun, not forgetting your sunglasses of course,” he concluded.
